5. Sing the Love of Jesus

1 Sweetly sing the love of Jesus,
Love for you and love for me;
Heaven’s light is not more cheering,
Heaven’s dews are not more free.

Sing the love of Jesus,
Precious, precious love;
Sweetly sing the love of Jesus,
Precious, precious love.

2 Softly sing the love of Jesus,
For our hearts are full of tears,
When we think how He in sorrow
Walked this earth for many years.

Sing the love of Jesus,
Precious, precious love;
Softly sing the love of Jesus,
Precious, precious love.

3 Gladly sing the love of Jesus,
Let us lean upon His arm;
If He loves us what can grieve us?
If He keeps us what can harm?

Sing the love of Jesus,
Precious, precious love;
Gladly sing the love of Jesus,
Precious, precious love.
